Were Labour set up to be ‘Custodians of the Collapse’?

One of the biggest myths in politics today is the suggestion that all of the Political Parties that we have on offer have some long-standing and credible philosophy that drives them from their base.

The Conservatives have forgotten what it is to be conservative. The Liberal Democrats are idealogues whose idea of liberalism has a very undemocratic form. Reform is at best Re-Ukipping and attempting to steal every Conservative Politician. Whilst Labour has nothing in common with the workers they once so fiercely represented, whose social and economic problems they now openly resent.

Whilst a large proportion of the UK population are very angry with politicians from right across the spectrum as it stands today, we still fall into the trap of believing that anyone who has become a politician or an MP is not only up to the job but should be treated with deference. Because being elected has made them special in some way.

Sadly, the days when we could rely upon any of the politicians or public representatives having the best interests of the public at heart in all that they do are very long gone.

The Political Parties select the candidates that we find on our ballot papers, meaning that we all have at best a ‘fixed choice’. And the choices that the Political Parties themselves make today represent a downward trajectory in leadership quality that has seen poor leader after poor leader surround themselves with even poorer leaders, which then makes up the pool from whom the next choice of an even poorer leader is inevitably made.

Even the best interviewers would struggle to uncover anything genuine or authentic about any of the people who are making the decisions that affect all of our lives. Yet we maintain the habit of taking everything these people say at face value, whilst too often falling into the trap that suggests going against the common or accepted narrative makes us wrong in some way.

What are today’s ‘politicians’ really there to do?

It has been said that if the general population understood how the economy and financial system worked, there would be a revolution tomorrow.

Yet we cannot even be sure that the Prime Minister really understands what this statement could mean. Beyond what he is being advised everyday by ‘experts’ and ‘special advisors’, who themselves also have myopic views of the world and are following their own agendas in many different ways.

The ‘growth’ that politicians obsess with isn’t the same ‘growth’ that normal people would typically think.

Yes, growing’ businesses does play a very small part.

But the growth that means so much to the political classes is the expansion of GDP or Gross Domestic Product. Which we might otherwise recognise as the financial productivity of the UK over a set period of time that can be measured in some way.

Growing GDP allows politicians to hide public debt and their expenditure.

Growing GDP and what they are referring to as ‘growth’, are the only tools poor leaders know how to use to solve problems, by showing the debt and expenditure as a percentage or proportion of the ‘economy’ for whichever period of time the reference point might be.

The entire economic and financial model that exists and which politicians are now struggling to maintain can only remain functional for as long as GDP and the money in circulation grows.

Because the same global model has already stripped the UKs traditional industries and tools of production from under us making the few already fabulously rich, there is very little left that can be used as a credible excuse for printing money.

This is why politicians are importing reasons to spend and create more money, whilst they use forked tongues to tell us they are committed to solutions that don’t face the same way.

Making us poor whilst destroying every means for us to solve the problems ourselves

As GDP and the money in circulation grows, the value of the money we have and the income we are expecting goes down and down.

The rich get richer whilst the poor get poorer and the whole system depends upon increasing wealth inequality so that those who already have more can keep getting more.

GDP came into being as the economic reference point at the same time that we lost the Gold Standard, and the FIAT monetary system took over in the period around 1971.

It is no accident that this was the same unhappy chapter of our history when UK politicians pushed us towards what was then The Common Market and what we now know as The EU.

As a localised global project, the EU ‘project’ was always about money and control being progressively handed to the world’s elites, whilst an ever-grimmer shit sandwich was all that was left for me and for you.

The neoliberal orthodoxy that underpinned all of this has been applied consistently and progressively over the past 50+ years to ensure that community and national identity has evaporated, whilst small, independent businesses of every kind are no longer viable, and any form of industry, service provision or the supply of food or goods that are essential to everyday life, have been placed under the control of fewer and fewer profiteering and controlling hands.

Puppet governance

None of this would have been possible without the help and commitment of generations of politicians who have been useful idiots for those who benefit from a system that is destroying our humanity, and everything good and of real value that we know.

Those benefitting have always been very generous to politicians and public servants in ways that appeal to the materially and glory-seeking weak minded, who have become corrupted by the system and the way that everything actually works, pretty much as soon as the votes that elected them have been counted or they have that plumb job, and the soundproof doorway from the real world into the Westminster corridors has closed behind them.

They quickly conclude that they are now the all-seeing, all hearing and all-knowing gods, amongst other gods who think exactly the same.

Dead Cats and indoctrinated amnesia

People have very short memories when it comes to politics, especially when things are feeling particularly bad.

Indeed, for many it seems easy to forget just how bad the Conservatives under Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak really were.

So, it seems unfathomable that Labour could actually be picking up where the Tories left off, and that’s why things are just getting even worse, whilst it’s the Conservatives at whom Labour are pointing the finger of blame – whilst they continue doing exactly the same.

You may not believe what you are reading. And that we are not supposed to is the whole point.

There is NOTHING between any of the Political Parties that we have to choose from today. Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem or Reform.

They are all as Establishment as each other, and as things stand today will continue the pathway of UK destruction, no matter how the next government may be formed.

We will not embrace the change Our World needs until events make it impossible for us to do otherwise

The hardest part of addressing any kind of addiction is crossing the Rubicon to accepting that we are addicted.

And for as long as we have not accepted that our state of addiction exists, we continue blissfully unaware that everything that we once considered to be important has itself been usurped by the fake importance that has taken over our direction at the centre of our lives.

As a society and culture, we are addicted to a lifestyle that revolves around money, the accumulation of wealth, influence, power, advancement and self.

It’s all part of a worldwide malaise that would most accurately be named a Moneyocracy.

The value of money is the benchmark of our values system. It relates to everything in life.

Money and everything linked to it comes before everything important, including the consideration we have for other human beings.

The problem is, we don’t see it.

Or rather, we do see it. But for as long as even the smallest benefit that this bogus system provides us appears to outweigh the disadvantages, we are completely hooked into it and blind to the damage that it is doing to everyone; not least of all ourselves.

This malign and all-encompassing value system has taken over everything so comprehensively, that we cannot imagine a future without whatever benefit we each prize so highly being available to us each and every day. Even though it is the behaviour that exists in all our lives that has created and allowed the Top-Down Moneyocracy to exist, take over and progressively thrive.

We refuse to accept that there is a way of living our lives that can and will be better for us all in so many different ways. Because our addiction to this System tells us that there is nothing better than the hit that we get, in whatever way each of us may get it, and the wilful blindness that accompanies our addiction obscures the reality that each and every time we take it, in whatever way it may be, it is our own behaviour that is this cultural problem’s cause.

We cannot take any of the causes of the problems that we have today with us. Because we will otherwise not be moving forward or leaving everything that’s causing so much harm to everyone and the world we live in, behind.

However, what is regrettably clear, is that we will not relinquish our collective hold upon the Moneyocracy and the harm that it is doing us, until events force us to view the mechanics of our lives in a very different way.

Wars, financial system crashes, pandemics, shortages, civil unrest and many other unsavoury experiences that too many of us had until recently been happy to believe had long since been left behind, could all lead or contribute to the end of the Moneyocracy and a way of living that in the terms of all that we should be valuing, has already come at an incalculable cost to us all.
